More News From Stanley.

LONDON, Aug. Further advices
from Henry NJ. Stanley, say hat on June
6 the expedition reached a point half way
between Yambi and Yambunga, the lat,
ter being the furtherest point on the
Arnwimi reached by Stanley in 1888.
The navigation was difficult and slow.
Stanley hoped his steamers would be able
to ascend the apids above Yambunga,
beyond which the river is easily navigable.,
Stanley expected to reach Wadel about
the first OF August.
From advices received Thursday it
would appear that Stanley had been
obliged to await the arrival of contingents
left at Bolobo and Leofoldville, and had
adopted the overland route. which would
occupy a fortnight longer.

An Error IN History Corrected

Boston, Aug. 5.-During the recent
convention Of colored veterans in this
city it was stated in the discussion that
the first colored troops enlisted in the late
war came from Massachusetts. Gen. B.
f: Butler to-day publishes a letter in
which he states that this is a mistake,
and he asserts that in 1862 he enlisted
three regiments of colored troops in New
Orleans and had them in action long be-
fore colored troops were used elsewhere.
He writes the letter, he says, to correct
an error in history.

THE BULGARIAN ELECTION.

Russia Firmly Declines to Consent to the
Choice Made by the Sobranje.
Special to tie Indianapolis Journal
LONDON July 10.-A singular proof of the
complexity of European and Asatic politics is
afforded by the ENHANCEMENT to which the Bull
garian election has given rise. While the So
branje was actually engaged in the work OF So
lecting sovereign, one paid much attention
to it, but the elimination Of It's labors has been
the signal for the appearance of ominous clouds
IN the horizon of many and. widely separated
states. Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, the British
special commissioner who has been conducting
the negotiations with Turkey in regard to the
settlement of the Egyptian question, has been in
structed to remain at Constansinople for the
present instead Of returning to London at once,
as had been intended. The real reason for pro-
longing his stay, however, is not that the Egypt
ian question may be brought any nearer settle
ment thereby, as it is pretty well ascertaned by
this time that the negotiations have hopelessly
fallen through. His presence at the Turkish
capital is needed on account of the sudden
reopenine of the Bulgarian question and the
tween Russia. Turkey and Austria
on account of it. Herr Won Radowitz. the
German Ambassador at Constan tnopie has also
received instructions to postpone his departure
from that city for o week In both cases these
orders of detention were given ut the special
request of the Sultan, who is evidently much
alarmed at the outlook in Eastern AFFAIRS and
wishes to have the trusted representatives OF
the two leading western powers at hand for ad-
vice and consultation in case of trouble.
Telegrams received tonight from the various
European capitals indicate that the probability
of Prince Ferdinand accepting the throne to
which he has been called are hourly growing
less. Russia Is firm in her refusal TO consent to
the arrangement To induce her to yield the
point would REQUIRE great concessions to her on
the part of all the powers who favor q ratfica-

Farmers Review: During the last week refresh

bushels nine counties in Indiana give an aver
age Of 10 2-3 bushels per acre: twelve counties
In Kansas, 13 bushels, which former reports in

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.
A Week Which Has Very Greatly Improved
the Condition of the Growing Crops.

WAsHINGTON. July 10.-The weather crop
bulletin. issued to-day. says that duripg the past
week ending July the weather has been
warmer than usual generally throughout the
Northern States and on the Pacific coast, the
average daily excess being about three degrees
from New England westward to the upper Mis-
sissinpi valley, and about seven degrees on the
Pacific coast 1t was cooler than usual through
out the Southern States, and in the cotton
region the daily average about three de-
grees below the normal. The excess of tenn
perature throughout the Northern States during
the past two weeks, and the cool weather in the
Southern STATES during the same period, leaves
the average Gaily temperature for the season
from Jan. to July o, about normal. the dif-
ference of the daily average from the normal
being generally less than one degree throughout
the agricultural regions.
There has been excess of rainfall in the
Southern States and thence northward to the
lake region, including the southern portions of
New England and the middle Atlantic States.
while there has been less than the usual amount
of rainfall inlthe States Of the Missouri valley.
Numerous and abundant rains have occurred IN
the cotton region and in that portion of the corn
region east of the Mississippi previously threat
ened with drought. For the season from
JAN to July the large deficiency of rainfall
continues throughout the Southern States and
the Mississippi valley. but the rainfall during
the past two weeks has greatly reduced the sea-
Bonal deficiency. and. occurring at the critical
period has probably affected most benefcially
corn and cotton.
The weather generally during the past week
has greatly improved the condition of the grow
ing crops Both grain and hay harvesting are
well advanced In the extreme northern portions
Df the country. though 1t has been retarded in
some sections by severe local storms.
